Lars Hofhansl resolved PHOENIX-5045.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
We now have consistent global indexes. When those are proven stable we can
retire the existing global indexing code. Closing this one.
> Remove Global Mutable index code from Phoenix

> Key: PHOENIX-5045
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-5045
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
> Priority: Major
>
> In a continued effort to reduce Phoenix' complexity I propose that we remove
> the current GLOBAL MUTABLE index implementation from Phoenix.
> It can't be made working reliably and comes with considerable complexity such
> as:
> * temporarily disabled indexes, or
> * indexes that return stale data, and
> * complex catch-up logic
> * server-to-server communication with the risk of tying up handler threads
> * special retry logic on the client (to avoid retries in the handler threads
> trying to update the index table)
> IMHO it does not even matter whether we have a replacement or not. The
> current code should not be used.
> Let's discuss.
